Some neighborhoods feature playgrounds or a community pool. In summer, locals enjoy Water Bowl, a unique recreational center with a beach for swimming and fishing. Muncie boasts over two dozen parks, and for thrill-seekers, Muncie Dragway offers family-friendly fun on an eighth-mile track less than 5 miles away.Delta high schoolers can earn college credit
Delaware Community School Corporation “is big enough that your kids can get involved, but small enough that you know most people and the staff and faculty care about the students,” says Sara Rogers. Royerton Elementary School is in the community and receives an A-minus from Niche. Delta Middle School gets a B. Delta High School, A-minus, is an endorsed Indiana Early College High School and offers dual credit courses. Students can earn enough credit to enter college as sophomores.Downtown Muncie and Ball State University are less than 15 minutes away

IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital is 8 miles away, while Ball State University is roughly a 15-minute drive. The Muncie Bypass is a major Delaware County artery that runs through Royerton and forms a semi-circle around the city. An active rail line passes through the area, which can cause traffic delays.Royerton's CAP Index crime score is 1 out of 10, much lower than the national score of 4 out of 10.Live music at Tonne Winery
Tonne Winery is Delaware County's only winery and a destination for locals and visitors alike. The vintners behind the small-batch winery offer a welcoming space to unwind and connect. "We're family-friendly so it feels like a community place to gather because people know they can bring their kids," Sara Rogers says. "You can bring your dogs and sit out on the lawn on a blanket while the kids play … it feels like one big family hanging out and enjoying the same things." The winery is known for its wine slushies, events and outdoor concerts, which can draw up to 500 visitors on summer nights. "You look out and you can have babies in strollers or eight-year-olds kicking a soccer ball, and then you've got 85-year-olds and they're up dancing," Tom Rogers says.Royerton has a Dollar General and a Pizza King. Otherwise, locals drive a few miles away to Muncie for groceries and restaurants. McGalliard Road is the epicenter of shopping and dining. The strip has fast-casual franchises, big-box retailers at Muncie Mall and Muncie Plaza, and grocery stores like Aldi and Fresh Thyme Market.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
